Essentially, yes, tough noogies.
The alternative is for the downgrade to execute, and even tougher
noogies.
I guess the decision is which set of noogies is tougher, or more
acceptable.
I thought that if there were known corner cases where a downgrade was
really, really a bad idea, yum could keep someone from shooting
themselves in the foot.
Maybe the current behavior that doesn't attempt to protect against
known failures is better.
